WisdomTree introduces option payout strategies on-chain and launches a new tokenized fund.

Mars Finance reported on December 8th, citing Cointelegraph, that global asset management firm WisdomTree launched a new digital asset fund, bringing traditional options strategies onto the blockchain. This move highlights the deepening integration between traditional asset management and blockchain financial infrastructure. The fund, named the WisdomTree Equity Premium Income Digital Fund, with the token code EPXC and fund code WTPIX, aims to track the price and return performance of the Volos US Large Cap Target 2.5% PutWrite Index. This benchmark index simulates a systematic "sell put option" strategy, which involves selling put options backed by cash to earn returns. Instead of directly writing options based on the S&P 500 index, this strategy uses a contract linked to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), earning premiums by acting as the option seller.
